Autumn Wallpaper

Autumn, originally uploaded by ....Tim.

This is an oldie from last year. I need to find the time to get out and take some autumnal photos very soon. The leaves are turning quite quickly and now is a good time.

Check out my Flickr photostream real soon for some new autumn shots.

For some reason this shot didn't come out as well as it looked before I pciked up the camera. I have captured the light and shade which was what caught my eye, but it doesn't inspire me as a finished picture...

Wider angle next time perhaps.

What do you think?

I took a bunch of photos in Bournemouth of the Animal / Relentless Mountain bike show. Click the picture to go to my photo stream on flickr to see the rest...

Surfing...

I went to Bournemouth, Dorset last week and we had some great weather. I got loads of photos of the kids and some rather dodgy ones of the Air Show which I will try to post soon - once I fex them a bit.

I took some photos on my last evening there at about 8pm these guys were surfing in a decent swelling coming in from the channel.

My Tamron 200mm lense was just right for catching the action. The sun was setting nicely and it had been a beautifult blue sky day so the water looked great and the sun neatly highlighted the surfers.

Domestic violence

A cropped Punch and Judy photo, a grunde texture and some horror style writing - add them together in Photoshop and with some curve tweaking too you end up with a striking (excuse the pun) image that turns an innocent fairground sideshow into a political message.

A bit of a dark theme, but I am pleased with this.

Nothing special - just a bag for my camera. But there is something cool about a Crumpler, is it the name, the bright colours, the cool logo.? I don't know.

What I do know is I don't leave home without it!
